Diamond Rose is an ex-social media model (and influencer). She has the secret ability to create and destroy matter. She can create any object she can think of, though the larger, more complex it is, the more it weakens her. She also can destroy any object just the same. She can disintergrate a tank if she wanted to.

Currently, her city is under seige by a zombie mutant outbreak, and Diamond may be their only hope of survival.

Wow, thanks! His art really helps with the visuals I'm trying to think up!

I'm not very good at building up on the silhouette sketching as far as working out character designs. Though I often do full sketches and build and change things as they appeal to me visually. Maybe not the most efficient way, but I think I'm almost at my final design for Syn. I need to kick into overdrive for the final illustration though.

After taking some time to review the direction I was going with my character, I decided to change her up to fit a very early idea I had of her. I probably should have done more of the exploration stuff early, but as I update her appearance, these previous concepts have provided some much needed 'warming up'.

I don't think I'm going to make the extended deadline, and have only myself to blame. Lol. I like these contests because they make me tap into the creative vault inside my head, which I don't always put to use. Also, seeing the creative process of other artists is inspiring.

During the first month, I had an idea, but took a different approach. Initially I wanted this character to be a woman who was into fashion modern fashion (which would reflect in her attire) who happened to gain some kind of mystical/unexplained powers and abilities. I just wasn't sure how to piece it all together. The more variations I made the more her appearance became more, "old-world" or so.

So I wanted a modern design that fits within our reality. So I directly referenced Instagram models(and the stores they often promote). Anyway, I spent a few weeks trying to refine the appearance, and art style/technique. I finally found something I really like, but I don't think I'll make the deadline because I want to give it my all. And where I'm at in the process won't allow it. I'll still push and see how far I can go. If I do in fact miss the deadline, I'll create a separate topic of the final illustration if anyone is interested. I've added a mobile screenshot of my character's final design.
